Buddies simple reason in rising fuel prices
POLITICAL parties they dont know how to run country ,they only know how to make money for their homes
If every person get high income in this country then we will not worry about rising prices

They only know to cover their finacial loss by increasing tax
Dont know to increase in income of people or giving other benifits and relaxtion of some taxes
Poor indian politics

The country is being run by people who are not fit to even to run even small tea shop. These are only good at one thing - Begging.

This is indeed fuel saving method & this happens only in the Konkan Railway region, the consist is called Ro-Ro (Roll on Roll off), in the Konkan region the terrain being tough on the ghats trucks have difficulty to go through them. That's how this concept came into place & it helps truckers to move goods from one place to another. The driver & cleaner will be with the truck

If it is such a fuel saving method?, which I doubt it will be anymore with the new increased rail freight rates after this budget? but definitely it seems with added ease of use because it is without paper work & driver drives on & drives off the train as if his truck was a passenger! then I am curious why the rest of the country has not adopted this method till date or is it a success there just because of the added challenge of the tough terrain & the ghats etc?

Off Topic:

As far as I see it for the rest of the country this is not easy to implement & personally I do not see the need for it. I don't remember the rates being offered by Konkan Railways & yes the terrain there plays a major factor. If this implemented elsewhere IR will stand to loose a lot on operations & its not viable as well as truckers would prefer to drive than sit on the train for long periods of time. Most of the main lines are saturated beyond capacity & lot of freights languish on sidings for hours together before they get to move ahead. Also from the info on the KR website the services are offered Point to Point & for shorter distances.

This is not done, when they hike the prices it was Rs 1.50 a litre on February 16 and then by Rs 1.40 per litre on March 2, now reducing by only Re 1. Oil Cos have taken people as granted. They think they can tell anything to common people and they will believe.

I'd like to start using shell but the issue is Shell petrol bunks are not many in Hyderabad, I have always been impressed by their professional approach towards each and every customer.

About the reduce in petrol price well it will benefit a bit for those people who regularly fill BP, IOC, HP. However this will only be short lived since the market is being very volatile, also it seems the prices of crude we import is based on the Singapore Benchmark FOB (Freight on Board) according to what NDTV mentioned, probably that explains partially as to why they hiked the prices by 1.4 few weeks ago.
